  "account": "The Spanish Ministry of Defense has awarded a 14.27 million euro contract to French company Thales for the supply of licenses and support for its secure messaging system, known as MEFO. The system is used to share classified information and must provide support for the ministry's operational capabilities, ensuring secure exchange of information at strategic, operational, and tactical levels. The contract, which lasts three years, allows for technical exchange of formal messages with NATO and the European Union. The MEFO system has replaced the previous Hermes system, which was in use for 24 years and has had its historical archives transferred to the new system.",
